\"Floral<\/a><\/p>\n

Certain Tulips last longer in a vase than others. Viridiflora, Fringed and Parrot tulips are especially long lasting often exceeding 10 days. Pick Tulips that are just turning from green for longest life.<\/p>\n

Selection of Cut Flower Varieties<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nGroenland a green stripped viridiflora with pink petals.
\nUnion Jack with a large white cup touched with red.
\nShirley appears cream but turns to white and matures with a hint of purple.
\nQueen of the Night is a late flowering dark flower almost like the infamous black tulip.
\nArabian Mystery is a burgandy colour with white edged petals

Myths and Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n

Piercing the stem of a tulip will not help the flower to stay rigid.
\nPutting a copper penny in the water has no effect.
\nOnly putting a couple of inches of water in a vase is not adequate. Tulips drink all the way up the stem, the higher the water the better.
\nLeaves on the stem do help the Tulip flower to mature and colour up so leave leaves on.
\nTulips do continue to grow after being cut, up to 2″ whilst in your vase.
\nIf Tulips are floppy cover then totally, flower and all, in tepid water for an hour. This will condition them and firm them up.<\/p>\n
